How Much Bread?

My sister is getting married next fall and for the reception is asking that people not bring gifts but instead bring a dish to share. She is inviting about 200 and I was considering offering to bring the bread. That's the crazy part there I fully expect it is more than I can handle but if you could tell me how much bread would be needed I could look at it more rationally. They are planning on providing turkey, ham and a pasta dish for sure and beverages. I mainly bake herb breads in rustic rounds or a basic loaf pan. I appreciate the advice.
